Bond, H. E. ; Chanmugam, G. ; Grauer, A. Abstract High-speed optical photometry of the X-ray source 2A 0311-227 shows a light curve modulated with the 81 minute orbital period, with superposed large-amplitude flaring. The light curve, combined with Tapia's polarimetry, suggests that this system is similar to AN UMa in that it contains a white dwarf with an accreting magnetic pole that lies in the hemisphere facing the earth throughout the orbital cycle.
